Subject: Mars is Heaven, first broadcast 7-6-1950 on Dimension X

On old-time radio, I've listened to numerous adaptations of "Mars is Heaven" by Ray Bradbury. Ernest Kinoy's adaptation is head and shoulders above any other I've ever heard. It masterfully builds suspense until you are on the very edge of your seat. The performances are all that you could hope for, and then some. Wendell Holmes as Captain Black, and Peter Capell as Doctor Horst are pitch-perfect. Finest 28 minutes ever on the radio, IMO.

May I use the recorded quote section "adventures in time and space" for a crowdfunding audio trailer I am making?

Subject: Martian Chronicles

I enjoy listening to "Martian Chronicles" on my "singing metal book (Samsung Omnia), over which, (I) brush (my) hand as one might play a harp."

And enjoy many other programs, from The Campbell's Playhouse to Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar and from Suspense to Jack Benny. It's a fine thing to have these programs preserved at archive.org. Thanks!

Subject: Thanks and notes on missing episodes

Thanks for posting these!

Update to the below message: a more complete archive of Dimension X, in higher fidelity (128 kb), can be found here:

http://www.archive.org/details/OTRR_Dimension_X_Singles

I'm not sure about the encoding rate on this set, but it's supposed to be the highest quality available (from the same group that posted the above Omnibus downloads):

http://www.archive.org/details/OTRR_Certified_Dimension_X

At least a couple of episodes of Dimension X that are missing from this archive are elsewhere online. I noticed that two Robert Heinlein stories, "Universe" and "The Green Hills of Earth", aren't here but are on this page (in real audio-yuck!): < http://www.otr.net/?p=dimx >.

Truly amazing old radio shows on space & sci-fi material. Enjoy!

Subject: Dimension X best Sci Fi

Some of the best sci -fi to appear on the radio. Dimension X was largely replayed as part of the later X minus 1 series.
Features some of the now famous, but then unknown, authors such as Assimov and Heinlein.
